The passport is transferrable..simply send it to Leica and they transfer it to your name.

Thanks,

Just wondered if anyone is using the Kipon LTM adapters with the coding grooves?

Received my 50mm adapter today, and it works perfectly from a lens recognition point of view, but causes the lens markings to be placed off centre if you know what I mean. Not the end of the world, but disappointing nevertheless.

Anyone with similar experiences?

Mike

Many LTM lenses are meant to have their scale off-centre. The Summarit 1.5 5cm for instance. It is completely normal.

HI Marc
Of course you're right . . . . . but so was Brad!
In the UK it's transferrable . . . . in the States it isn't!

All the best

HI There Mike
CONGRATULATIONS
I've just found this thread, and so I missed out on answering most of your questions. But you seem to have had great answers, and anyway you bought the camera!
I've probably got a couple of IR filters around - drop me a PM if you're interested (I keep meaning to send them to ebay and not getting around to it).
all the best

Thanks Jono, I do need to sort out a filter for the 25mm Skopar - 39mm I believe. I'll check that out and get back to you.

Jaap, really usefully comment. Thanks for taking the time to post.
